{20 Questions} The Freckles Chick

April 23, 2013

I’m so excited for today’s {20 Questions}! Freckles Chick is probably my most favorite person I’ve never met. She makes me snort-laugh every single time I read her posts, emails, and especially, InstaGram hashtags. If you don’t know her, then you are missing out on an exquisite level of sarcasm, not to mention, her gorgeous house renovation and ingenious DIYs.

Hello, Hi Sugarplum readers!

It’s always a fantastic time guest posting for my friend
Cassie, so I was elated to get the chance to do so again. She always dreams
up the most somber & profound concepts for guest posting; this was no
exception {sarcasm font}.

I had so much fun with this! So here goes: everything you ever wanted to know about me & more (don’t be
scared)………….

What would you do for a living if you didn’t
need money?
Lately I’ve been dreaming of writing/illustrating
children’s books. I know it wouldn’t be as easy as it appears but
it’s such a magical niche, these storybooks for kids. It would be the
ideal creative outlet for someone like me who loves the written word &
whimsical illustrations (not saying I’m very good at either but we’re dreaming
right?). Books are a huge part of our day around here. And
since we’re pretending that I wouldn’t need the money, proceeds would go to
charities near & dear to our hearts.

Finish this sentence: Every room
needs….

A dose of black. Used wisely, a bit of black grounds a room(in my humble opinion).

How frequently do you wash your hair? Do you
have any hair secrets or tricks?

I usually wash my hair every 3rd day (I do shower every day,
I swear). It’s very dry here in Colorado & frequent washing
would wreak havoc on my hair. I’m very low-maintenance with my hair as I
currently don’t color it & wait far too long to get
trims. I just wash the night before, comb it to ‘set’ the side part
in my hair, & pin it in a loose bun for the remainder of the
night until I go to bed. It usually creates some loose
waves that last a couple days. My only ‘secret’ is that I’ve used
Burt’s Bees baby shampoo for years (gentle, smells good,
sulfate/paraben-free).

Will you leave the house without makeup?

I leave the house without makeup 90% of the time (even in
my pre-mom days). When I do slap on some makeup it’s just a dusting
of Aveda bronzer, a curling of the lashes, & a swipe of
tinted lip balm. Fancy. I have the misfortune of looking
like I’m playing dress-up whenever I wear lipstick (have tried every color
under the sun). I should probably make more of an effort since I can’t really
use the ‘frazzled new mom’ excuse anymore, HA.

You just unloaded your Halloween haul…what
candy do you go for first?
Reese’s Peanut Butter
Cups!!!!

What totally inane talent do you
possess?I can peel a banana with my toes. I’m forever
offering to do this at appropriate social gatherings (you know, like weddings)
to prove that I can, but no one ever takes me
seriously.

Hold the phone…peel bananas with your feet?! Talk about a party trick! We need a video of that. I can’t wait for the day I finally meet the adorable Miss Freckles…and send her into a rage over my ringtone.

I love this series! I had already been following most of the blogs of these wonderful people and the ones I hadn't, well, I started to, thanks to you Cassie. But I have to say, Freckles Chick is one of my favorite, her instagram hashtags are hilarious and Quinn is always sassy and stylish, just like her mama! And now I want to try the banana thing…
